  • I check out two amazing spaces side by side in this episode of Africa's Incredible Spaces. A warehouse turned coffee factory and cafe called Jamestown Coffee Warehouse and an alley turned trendy bar called The Alley Bar which are located in Osu, Accra. Kwasi Osei-Kusi and his business partner Kojo Bucknor have done such an incredible job of these spaces and look out for the next video where I will be interviewing Kwasi about his journey!

    I love this space. The food is good at both venues. I've been buying their bags of coffee almost 2 years now. They sell it in the grocery shops.
    Nighttime vibes are cool there too.

  • @carib48

    This is a great space. The owner should use both spaces to showcase Up and coming artists. Giving them a space to hang their art work while at the same time adding character to the place.

    • @IvyProsper
      @IvyProsper 3 роки тому +6

      They do have artist performances. I was there when a local artist performed on The Alley Bar side. But with Covid-19 numbers rising in Ghana now, it isn't happening. I'm sure it will again soon.
